"What? Let me try Zhang Wang's case? The Venerable Master of Yuanxia, Su Bolang, looked at Zhou Yuting dumbfounded, his face full of shock.

Because he had been staying in the Imperial Garden, Su Bolang knew nothing about the situation in the outside world, and if it weren't for Zhou Yuting coming to sue him, Wu Shaoqing and others kneeling in front of Chengtianmen to demand severe punishment for him, he would still be in the dark.

What particularly surprised Su Bolang was that Zhou Yuting actually asked him to go to the trial site of the cabinet and the five governments and six ministries to find out the truth about Zhang Wang's suicide, which is simply incredible, he was abducted and deceived in the people, but in the face of those top magnates in the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't help but feel weak, and he was already cowardly before he fought.

To be honest, Su Bolang doesn't know whether he feels unlucky or honored now, and he can be impeached by the clear stream of the Ming Dynasty, and he can be regarded as famous, becoming the first person in the Hong Xi Dynasty, and this matter will definitely spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

"Don't worry, the matter of Zhang Wang and Wu Hanlin has been arranged by the county lord, you only need to tell them in public to those civil and military officials in the court." Zhou Yuting saw that Su Bolang looked weak-hearted, smiled slightly, and quietly encouraged him, "Since Xianggong came to you, you must also have something extraordinary, and you will definitely be able to handle this matter well."

"You're talking about Li Yushi?" Su Bolang was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhou Yuting in surprise, he didn't know Zhou Yuting's identity, but he knew that Li Yuntian's wife was the daughter of Zhongguo Gong, and was named the county lord by the emperor.

"If this matter is done well, the name of Venerable Yuan Xia will be well-known all over the country." Zhou Yuting bowed her head slightly and said with a smile.

"I will never live up to the high expectations of the county lord and Li Yushi, and I will do my best to do this errand well." Knowing that Zhou Yuting was Li Yuntian's wife, Su Bolang couldn't help but feel relieved, and said to Zhou Yuting, he believed that Li Yuntian's plan must be detailed and thorough.

"You are running errands for the queen and the crown prince, not the county lord and Li Yushi." Zhou Yuting felt that Su Bolang's mind was calm, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he opened his mouth to correct his statement.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely not disappoint the queen and the crown prince, nor will I live up to the cultivation of the county lord and Li Yushi."

Su Bolang hurriedly changed his words, and replied with a smile, the queen and the crown prince will definitely reward him after handling this errand, he found that Li Yuntian is simply a noble man in his fate, and his career has been smooth sailing since he met, and now he has even done an imperial errand for the royal family.

The next morning, the lobby of the Criminal Department was crowded with people, and it was a busy scene.

According to the usual practice, such as the trial of the three legal divisions and the trial of the Jiuqing, the important trials of the imperial court were held in the lobby of the criminal department, and the trial of the cabinet and the five governments and six ministries was naturally no exception.

In order to eliminate the influence of Wu Shaoqing and Zhang Wang's incident, Empress Zhang deliberately asked all the major yamen in the capital to send people to the lobby of the Criminal Department to observe, among which there were many people from the Hanlin Academy, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Departments.

Due to the large number of high-ranking officials and dignitaries gathered in the lobby of the Criminal Department, Cui An, the Governor of the Pro-Army Protectorate, dispatched a large number of heavily armed soldiers to guard inside and outside the Criminal Department, and the atmosphere was a little tense and depressing.

At this time, there were three people sitting behind the table in the lobby of the Criminal Department, in the middle was the Zongren Mansion Zong Ling and Fu Wang Zhu Yongqing, on the left was Yang Rong, the second assistant of the cabinet, and on the right was Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department.

Because the British Gong Zhang Fu was declared into the palace by Emperor Hongxi to protect the law, no one in the court was qualified to sit behind the table in the lobby of the Criminal Department, otherwise Zhang Fu's Taishi would have a place.

The officials and governors of the five prefectures and six departments sat on the chairs on both sides of the hall on the left and right, and behind them stood two rows of officials from the major yamen, and behind them were a large number of pro-soldiers wearing helmets and armor.

In addition to the officials standing in the lobby, the courtyard outside the hall was also full of officials from the five prefectures and six ministries to observe, but their official positions were relatively low, and they could not enter the lobby, so they could only stay outside, where they were talking one after another, and the buzzing sound was loud.

Although Wu Shaoqing was only an official from the fifth rank, as the owner of the matter, he was allowed to enter the lobby and stood at the end of the first row of the two rows of officials on the left, and the rank of the officials in those two rows was above the third rank.

Soon after, there was a commotion among the officials at the gate of the Criminal Department, and a group of soldiers walked in carrying a coffin, and placed the coffin on three tables leaning together in the center of the courtyard under the gaze of everyone.

With the appearance of the coffin, the officials who were talking in the courtyard stopped one after another, and looked at the coffin curiously, and the officials in the hall also turned their heads to look.

The coffin contains Zhang Wang's body, and the coffin will be opened here today for an autopsy, and three experienced servants are already waiting aside, two of them are from the Criminal Department, and the other three are from Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Shuntian Mansion.

The coffin was escorted by a thousand households from the pro-military capital to protect the house, and after handing over the relevant case file to an official standing in front of the hall, he bowed and retreated, and the official handed the case file to Zhu Yongqing, who will be in charge of today's case.

What is recorded in the case file is the cause of Zhang Wang's death, and when Zhang Wang died, he had already been examined by a servant of the Criminal Department, who did not appear today as a way to avoid suspicion.

Zhu Yongqing didn't look at the case file, after all, the reason why the autopsy was conducted here today was because Wu Shaoqing and others didn't believe in the autopsy results, so he put the case file aside and directly asked people to open the autopsy.

Since several days had passed, although Zhang Wang's body had been kept in lime by the people of the Criminal Department, it was inevitable that there were signs of yankuai in the hot weather, so as soon as the coffin lid was opened, a pungent stench came from inside, and the officials who were closer to the coffin could not help but cover their noses with their hands.

The five servants were already ready for the autopsy, wearing white autopsy clothes, masks and gloves, and stood aside waiting for Zhu Yongqing's instructions.

"Take the family of the deceased!" Zhu Yongqing did not let Zhang Wang do an autopsy, but said in a deep voice that before that, Zhang Wang's family and relatives and friends should first verify Zhang Wang's identity.

Immediately, a group of people were led into the courtyard by several officers of the Criminal Department, among whom were Zhang Wang's wife Qian and Zhang Wang's children, and the others were Zhang Wang's relatives and friends and colleagues in the imperial dining room.

Zhang Wang's relatives, friends and colleagues conducted an autopsy first, and everyone came to the coffin with their mouths and noses covered, although Zhang Wang's body had stinked, but his appearance had not changed, and everyone recognized him at a glance.

At the same time, they were also surprised to find that there were blood stains on the corners of Zhang Wang's mouth and nose, and his lips, eye sockets, and face were purple, which was a sign of poisoning.

Because Zhu Yongqing only allowed the autopsy, the group suppressed the shock in their hearts and said that the person in the coffin was Zhang Wang.

"Master, you died so miserably, you were dedicated to the emperor's safety, but you were poisoned by the wicked." Qian was the last to come forward for an autopsy, and when she saw Zhang Wang in the coffin, she couldn't help but hold on to the coffin and cry bitterly, obviously she also found out about Zhang Wang's poisoning.

As soon as Qian cried like this, the two sons and one daughter she brought also cried, and the relatives and friends on the side hurriedly opened their mouths to comfort them, making the atmosphere of the scene more solemn.

"The Qian family, the eighth rank of the widow, knocked on all the adults, the husband of the wife was poisoned and died a miserable death, please let the adults call the shots of the wife!"

After crying for a while, Qian walked into the hall quickly, knelt in front of the hall with his legs bent, first kowtowed to Zhu Yongqing, Yang Rong and Qianyi, and then kowtowed to the officials on the left and right sides of the hall respectively, and then knelt down in front of Zhu Yongqing.

Zhang Wang is the official of the eighth grade, according to the imperial court's system, his wife Qian will be crowned by the imperial court as the "eight-grade widow", is the wife of the imperial court, which is equivalent to having a fame, and does not kneel when seeing officials in the lobby.

However, under the excessive sadness of the Qian family, where could he still take care of these courtesies, and he was bent on seeking justice for Zhang Wang, so he knelt down in front of the court, and at the same time put pressure on the officials at the scene.

"Qian, get up, since this king and all the adults are gathered here today, just to find out about the death of Steward Zhang, I will definitely give you justice."

Looking at the Qian family kneeling in the hall, Zhu Yongqing said quietly, to be honest, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Queen Zhang's gourd, and why he suddenly agreed to the autopsy.

"Thank you, thank you." After hearing this, Qian got up after kowtowing to Zhu Yongqing and the others, retreated to the courtyard, and stood with his two sons and one daughter.

"Autopsy!" Zhu Yongqing bowed slightly to an official standing on the side of the front of the hall, and the official immediately walked quickly to the door of the lobby and said loudly to the five servants who had already been prepared.

Immediately, the eyes of the officials in the lobby and in the courtyard were focused on the five servants, who came to the coffin and carefully examined Zhang Wang's body.

The scene was silent and silent, and everyone was waiting for the results of the autopsy.

"Lord Qiqi, my lords, after careful inspection just now, we all agree that Lord Zhang died of arsenic!" After about a cup of tea, the five servants looked at Zhang Wang's corpse and gathered together to discuss, and a tall man who was over half a hundred years old walked to the door of the lobby, pulled down the mask he was wearing, bowed to Zhu Yongqing, and said loudly.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar inside and outside the lobby.

Previously, the government had been saying that Zhang Wang had hanged himself, and now he jumped out of the arsenic and died, which is really incredible, so Zhang Wang's suicide is obviously self-defeating, and the spearhead that came immediately pointed directly at the Venerable Yuan Xia, which confirmed the rumors that the Venerable Yuan Xia murdered Zhang Wang that circulated on the market some time ago.

"Master, you died so miserably!" When Qian heard this, she knelt on the ground with her legs bent, and cried again, and the two sons and one daughter beside her also cried, making the atmosphere in the courtyard quite sad.

Looking at the orphans and widows crying bitterly in front of them, the officials present all expressed sympathy, and at the same time, their hearts were full of anger towards the Venerable Master Yuanxia, who dared to blatantly poison the official of the imperial court, which was simply lawless.

Seeing that the situation at the scene had become a little chaotic, Zhu Yongqing couldn't help but slap the shocked wood hard, so the officials immediately quieted down.

"This king asks you, can you be sure that Steward Zhang died of arsenic?" Then, Zhu Yongqing asked in a deep voice to the tall man standing in front of the lobby.

Because the tall man had just finished examining the corpse, he had no luck left on his body, so he could only stand there, so as not to collide with the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the hall.

"Back to the prince, the little ones and others can be sure that Lord Zhang died of arsenic." The tall man hurriedly bowed to Zhu Yongqing, and then added, "However, after inspection by the little ones, the strangulation marks on Lord Zhang's neck were left before his death. ”

"Left behind?" Zhu Yongqing's brows suddenly frowned slightly, and he couldn't understand what the tall man said, since Zhang Wang was poisoned, why did there still be that strangulation mark?

The officials inside and outside the hall also looked suspicious, and they also thought that the strangulation marks appeared particularly strangely, and they were even more curious about how the tall man knew whether the strangulation marks were left before his death or after his death. One
